In deep distress to live without delight,
In deep distress to live without delight,
Were such a life as few I think would crave.
Were such a life as few I think would crave.

Were too, too much for one poor soul to have.
Were too, too much for one poor soul to have.
If weal and woe will thus continue strife,
If weal and woe will thus continue strife,
A gentle death were good to cut off such a life.
A gentle death were good to cut off such a life.}}

In deep distress to live without delight,
Were such a life as few I think would crave.
In pangs and pains to languish day and night,
Were too, too much for one poor soul to have.
If weal and woe will thus continue strife,
A gentle death were good to cut off such a life.
